These states will have no health insurance options because all the other insurance companies got tired of losing money.

Either Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI or she lied on a State Department form as she began her tenure as Secretary of State. This conclusion appears inescapable after Friday’s FBI document release related to the Clinton email investigation.

In some places the ice is already up to 15 feet thick. And the AGW crowd cannot figure out how & why. Their models didn’t predict this (as the models haven’t correctly predicted anything).  Funny: they completely forgot to model the Antarctic Ocean Circulation and that effect on the ocean temperatures.

Obamacare architect Ezekiel Emanuel thinks we should bring young people into the system by hurting them more severely if they refuse.
